Horoscope for Feb. 4

Aries (March 21-April 19): You used to get a great deal of praise and social reinforcement for doing the hard job you'll do today. Now the reward that matters most to you is the feeling you get from the work itself.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Many of the world's ills are caused by the love of power. This kind of love also has been the mother of progress. Much will depend on the context of the day. Stay aware of the ego's needs and keep them in check.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): Just because you have a right to do something doesn't mean you should. Base your decisions on what might bring about the best for all involved.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): You may find it difficult to know when someone has fudged the facts or stretched the truth, but the falsity you'll detect right away is in pretending that something is there when nothing is there.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): In today's case, your best gift is you, showing up where you're needed with a smile on your face. Make sure your gift arrives on time, because you'll be best received by those who aren't worn out from waiting.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You won't like everyone you have to be around, but because of your stellar character, you find a way to get along, be respectful and do the job at hand. You'll set a precedent.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Emotionally healthy people can chuckle at their own expense and don't mind doing so from time to time. But the truly arrogant fear funny people, as they should. Your keen sense of humor will cut to the quick.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): The editing process can be tricky, but it's an essential step in completing your project. It takes some work to narrow your focus to what's essential and true without oversimplifying it.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Mae West said you're never too old to become younger, and that's how you feel today as you make the decisions that will keep you fresher and more vital than yesterday.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Put your apprehensions to rest. People will treat you exactly as you treat them. In the rare case in which you don't get your due, it will be made up to you tomorrow.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): It's the people who don't have time to relax who need relaxation the most. What can you do to fulfill this essential need in your own life? Give relaxation a high priority status - that's a start.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Some people only see what they want to see in you. They see you as a person who can make their dreams come true or as someone who embodies the qualities of their fantasies.

Today's birthday: You'll cash in at the end of a project. In March, the intellectual endeavors you take on will change your point of view and your schedule, too. April will heal a relationship. Improvements to your home have to do with a financial restructuring in May. June and July are filled with love and dates. Pisces and Gemini people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 10, 46, 28 and 19.
